Subject: RV10-List: sheet metal edge protector
On my RV-6A I used flexible plastic edge protector (photos attached) to
protect items (wire, usually) from sharp sheet metal edges. I can't
remember what this plastic stuff is called, or where to order it. I'd
like to use some on my RV-10. Can anybody help me out with nomenclature
and/or source?
Thanks,

Tim,
I would be interested to know, for future reference, did you provide a
core for G&N to work with or did they have one that you purchased from them?

I have not checked the RH P lead in the start position yet but in 2
years never having a kick back makes me think all is well. It is
something I will check the next time I have the cover off. Randy

This is all pretty much conjecture since I haven't a clue what really
went on .... but kickback is usually caused by the right (non-impulse)
mag firing at low engine RPM. The only other way for kickback to occur
would be if there was a piece of red-hot carbon still in the offending
cylinder .... and I wouldn't expect it to last the 5-8 minutes you were
shut down. If you don't have a mag switch with a start position and you
started on both ...... especially with the sky-tec starter ..... or the
right mag has a p-lead problem ...... I'd expect to get kickback.

We about a week ago I gave a friend a ride in Central Washington. It
was in the low 90's deg oat. I dropped him off and I was on the ground
for 5 - 8 min. When I tried my normal hot restart I have been using for
2 years experienced a kick back. This was not normal at all and to keep
it from doing it again I went full rich on mix and ran fuel pump for 5
seconds or so to add some cold fuel to the cylinders. I knew that it
would give me a flooded condition but that was my intent. This added
cool fuel the intake and I was able to make a flooded hot start with no
problem. Here is the issue. Immediately after the kick back the
starter started to make a grinding noise much like the old Chevy
starters that needed shimming. I pulled apart the starter last night
and looked it over. It looked fine. I called SkyTec this morning and the
confirmed that a kick back will almost always cause a bent shaft in the
starter. They make the starter so that it will give way on kick backs
and save the ring gear. They said that to replace every part in the
starter cost 150.00 buck and is a lot cheaper than messing with a new
flywheel ring gear. I agree!. So be aware if a kick back happens to you
and a new noise develops. Randy 40006

After a conversation with Van's it is acceptable to file down the web of the spar.
The key is to not enlarge the bolt holes through the spar. Hopefully this
will save anyone else some worry if it happens to you also. The person I talked
to said this wasn't the first occurence of this problem. I am willing to bet
it won't be the last.

Would everyone consider identifying whom at VANS they receive
information from for future posts. The power of "VANS told me to do it
this way" carries a lot of clout.
Recently someone on the RV list said a DAR advised not to safety wire
prop attachment bolts to the prop hub. That comment could be blasphemy
and every DAR is smeared with the same dangerous advice that is brushed
by that directive.
This is not to diminish the value of advice but not all information is
vetted or accurate. Safety for every builder should be consistent. It
is amazing how a mis-understood piece of advice can be slightly altered
with major event change.
You are the Manufacturer and you set the quality standard. Its kind of
like the Zenith TVs of decades ago. "The quality goes in before the
name goes on". Zenith never identified the quality or when they shipped
the production out of the USA for cheaper labor costs.
Van just makes parts (and a great kit concept). Get a second opinion
for the benefit of your loved ones on filing of structural members. The
spar and its web is no minor component of your investment.
As mass produced "Builder Assist" RV-10 kits make there way into the
insurance pool, a simple misunderstanding can make for major structural
change. Not all change is positive.

Harbor Freight is having a sale on a storage container and misc black
shrink tubing to place over safety wire which can reduce the chance of
chafing a prop, hub or oil filter canister <<13.gif>> . FYI
Item 92300 with the attached coupon for $3.99. The container is a great
drill bit storage tray when the shrink tubing is gone. Offer good till
the 7th.

G&N is one of the 5 engine shops authorized by Lycoming to build their
experimental engine kit so, all the parts they use are new and come as a
complete un-assembled kit from Lycoming. Modifications are also OK but I
would check that with G&N.
I bought the IO 540 for the 10 from them. They also rebuilt the core I used
for the RV4. It was a great engine for the 750 hours that I flew the
airplane. They run the engines in a test cell before delivery and are great
folks to work with.
Ask for Dennis Wyman.

For those that are reserving sites at RV-10 HQ in Camp Scholler, I will
send out an email to everybody probably late in the day on Tuesday 7/17
with contact cell phone numbers for Tim, Gary and I along with a map to
the location. Game plan is that you should call one of us when about
20-30 minutes out and one of us will meet you at the Camp Scholler
entrance with your campsite credentials and car pass. Obviously we
won't know the exact location before Tuesday AM, but if you have any
other questions feel free to contact me before then.
*** Begin Advertisement ***
Current count is up to 16 sites. Time is getting short if you want to
reserve a site of your own! I have sent a confirmation email to all
that I've received a check from - if you haven't received an email, I
haven't received your check. I can also accept PayPal using my email
address for the account.
